cording to our German Ancestral tree, eleven kids were born to Oswald and Augusta (Pfeiffer) Haertling, and the very first 10 of them were young boys. It is similar to the 9 young boys that were born into a Dietrich household in Altenburg that were called the Altenburg Giants in a previous post. You will read about among the Haertling young boys in today’s post. He was the second of those 10 young boys, and he would be commemorating an unique birthday today.Adolf Rudolf Friedrich Haertling was born upon January 29, 1898, so today would be his 125th birthday. That likewise indicates he was born the day after the other day’s primary character, Instructor Albert Meyr. This kid passed the name Rudolf throughout his life. He was baptized at Immanuel Lutheran Church in New Wells. Let’s have a look at a picture of his baptism record from that churchgoers’s books. For some factor, he simply has the names of Adolf and Friedrich, however it does not have the name that he would be called throughout his life. Possibly that name is the enigma that you see.

Rudolf is discovered in his very first census in 1900 at the age of 2. At this time, the very first 3 Haertling boys had actually been born. Rudolf’s dad was a farmer in the Apple Creek Municipality. When I saw that today’s surname was a Haertling baptized in New Wells, I believed it may be yet another individual to mature in the “Koenig-Koch-Haertling” community, however that was not the case.

Next, we discover Rudolf in the 1910 census at the age when he would have been discovering his catechism in his preparation for verification. There were 8 young boys in the household. The youngest kid, Erwin, would pass away in 1911 as an extremely young kid. Rudolf, at the age of 12, was currently dealing with his dad’s farm. Even his 10 year-old sibling, Herbert, was currently called a farm worker.

Rudolph had a World War I draft registration finished in 1918. It stated he was residing in Altenburg and was a farm worker for G.H. Mueller.

Now, we will turn our attention to the lady who would end up being Rudolph’s bride-to-be. Her name was Emma Dorothea Bronnenkant who was born upon October 24, 1900. She passed the name Dorothea or Dora. She was the child of Martin and Martha (Hecht) Bronnenkant. Dora was the very first kid of 4 born in this household and baptized at Concordia Lutheran Church in Frohna. A picture of her baptism record is shown listed below.

Dora was most likely born too late in 1900 to be consisted of because year’s census, however I stopped working to discover this Bronnenkant household anyhow. The very first census entry in which I discover her is the one taken in 1910. Dora was 9 years of ages, and her dad was a farmer in the Union Municipality.

Rudolf Haertling wed Dora Bronnenkant on November 9, 1919 at Concordia Lutheran Church in Frohna. The church record for this wedding event is revealed here.

The marital relationship license for this couple is likewise readily available to see.

The German Ancestral tree notes 4 kids born to Rudolf and Dora. When the 1920 census was taken, they had yet to have their very first kid. We discover this young couple living with Dora’s moms and dads when that census was taken. Rudolf was just called a worker. Dora’s grandpa, Gabriel Bronnenkant, whose story was informed in the post, When Gabriel Comes Marching House!, is discovered in this home at the age of 80.

The 1930 census lists 2 kids in the Haertling household. Rudolph was a farmer in the Union Municipality. A 17 year-old Elmer Meyr was a worker on his farm. This is the 3rd out of the last 4 article that has actually discussed a Meyr.

2 more kids were born in the 1930’s, so we discover the following Haertling home in the 1940 census. Their earliest kid was then old adequate to be a worker on his dad’s farm.

Rudolf and Dora are discovered living in Frohna when the 1950 census was taken. Rudolf was a truck motorist for a limestone business. His oldest kid, Ellert, had actually wed Mary Dambach, and both of those 2 were running a pub at that time.

Dora Haertling passed away in 1962 at the age of 61. Her death certificate provides cancer as her cause of death.

Dora is buried in the Concordia Lutheran Cemetery in Frohna.

At a later time in his life, the picture listed below was taken of Rudolf Haertling.

I presume that Rudolf transferred to Perryville a long time after his other half’s death. He passed away in 1977, and a death index states his last house was Perryville. He passed away too just recently for me to show a death certificate. Rudolf is buried in the Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery in Perryville.

So, today we state, “Pleased 125th Birthday” to among the Haertling young boys. Possibly his lots of bros will appear on this blog site sooner or later. And perhaps his infant sibling.
